It's gonna be a big day the shoos tomorra. First thing l do is pick up Mr X and then we go to John's to try on my trial bespoke shoo and have a good shoo-chat amongst the three of us. Then l take Mr X to Smith Street to check out Australia's best shoe shop and for another good shoo-chat amongst the fellas, the media are also going to be there for about 90 minutes too, so hopefully we are able to come during that time so we can pump everyone up. Then l drive Mr X back to his daughters with a suit case full of my shoos for a long night of shoo discussions...won't be going home to daylight because we need to make the most of it while Mr X is in town.
Pics tomorrow of the trial shoe. Can't wait and l aint gonna sleep all night.
l might even try and get the head of the shoemaking school to come along, he is keen to meet John.

wrigglez come along to the Espy and see the band on the Feb 16 Rock The Bay. Main stage - peak time 8:30pm++ - Shooey and me will be there and 4 or 5 of my loser mates. Plus lots of hip young kids (under 30). with colourful tatts, short skirts and shorts, torn stockings, bits of metal sticking out of head and face, tight pants, etc etc and thats just the boys. I can get cheap $15 ticks from band - saving $10 - let me know.

l had to see my shoemaker again tonight to get him to make slight adjustments to the last by putting a patch over the left last (that foot gets bigger over the day). If the shape of your feet changes throughout the day there is no such thing as a perfect fitting bespoke shoe. Still, far superior to rtw in everyway.
John has just finished my hand stitched bespokes. l feel like dropping everything and driving 100 mile per hour and going their right now, but l will see him on Saturday arvo. Cars of shoomen definitely need wings for emergencies like this - bypass all the traffic and get to shoemakers within 5 minutes instead of 35 mins.
I wanted to spend time watching John hand stitch them but it has been hot and John was doing them bit by bit and it was too hard to organise various time for me to be there. Such a pity because l was going to hand stitch with him, but it doesn't matter because l can still learn stuff. John was good enough to take some photos which he will have developed, so l can post the inseaming work etc.
Not gonna be able to sleep for days now. The good ones always do that./ Pics on Saturday.
wear are all effected by cycles, but when it comes to igents they seem more effected by bullshit disease.
